West Coast fly home with another hamming but how would you sum it up, Eagles fans?

West Coast avoid the 100-point loss but they get little else out of the game.

Newton was able to get just one touch after coming on in the third term so the debutant doesn’t get much to celebrate either.

The overall team stats weren’t too bad for the visitors but the gulf in class was obvious.

Maric ends with 26 and McCarthy 25. Ginbey and Chesser also end with 22 disposals.

West bangs through his third on the run and the margin is 86 points.

Can West Coast stave off the 100-point defeat?

McCarthy and Maric are trying with 25 touches each.

The Dogs are in a race to a triple-figure win but Cripps wipes off one to West to start the term.

The Eagles are still running and tackling amid good signs for their culture going forward.

The Eagles have one clear goal for the last quarter, don’t get beaten by 100 points.

They improved their efforts in the third term but couldn’t put it on the board.

Meanwhile, the Dogs are already saving themsleves for a showdown with the Dockers next week.

The Eagles only trail clearances by one in positive signs, it’s just their mistakes prove too costly.

West Coast have pulled the trigger on mid-season draftee Jacob Newton.

He is subbed into the game for Tyler Brockman.

Just to add to the Eagles’ woes, Kelly has come off saw.

He tried to kick the ball out of the centre but got smoothered and appeared to hurt his foot.

He has left the ground.
